For 17 years of my life when it came to food I always thought that less was better and when it came to training I always thought that more was better 🤣 and if you've followed me for a while you'll know that it set me up with irregular and painful cycles, poor sleep, digestive issues, my hair was falling out and was obsessed with how I looked, what I weighed plus I was a chronic binge eater.
Thank goodness I found @thenutritioncoach and Ray's work and @iamcraigmcdonald taught me how to strength train.
As I started implementing what I learnt from Emma and Craig I finally got in tune with my body. I learnt how to trust it and liste...
So, I thought it’d be really interesting to sit down and chat about his experience with these crazy diets and how that impacted his training and life, as well as how pro-metabolic eating has changed his life.
In this episode, we talk about:
➡️Changes in his energy levels and mood during his extreme dieting days and how it affected his training
➡️What medications he was prescribed during this time for thyroid issues and more
➡️How going pro-metabolic improved his training and performance
➡️Tips on how to transition from paleo to pro-metabolic eating
➡️What are the things you can ...
In this episode we cover:
👉 What does a healthy women with a healthy metabolism look like?
👉 Should I train fasted?
👉 How can I tell if I am recovering from my training?
👉 How should I train if I want to lose weight/body fat? Should I be prioritising strength training or cardio?
👉 Why strength training is beneficial for women and how do you actually build muscle?
👉 What are the different types of cardio and when are they appropriate?
👉 Is being fit with a low resting pulse a sign of good health?
👉 If I have low thyroid, PCOS, low temps and pulses, hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, I'm super stressed, I have Hashimoto's or any other autoimmune condition how should I be training?
👉 What if I have exerci...
If you've followed me for a while you'll know I've cycled through nearly every diet out there. For 17 years of my life I tried to cut all sugar from my diet including fruit and juice. I get so many comments on my posts saying “sugar causes diabetes” and “sugar causes insulin resistance.”
So I thought I'd sit down with Georgi and address some of these misconceptions.
In this episode, we discuss:
➡️What is insulin resistance
➡️What actually causes insulin resistance and diabetes (hint it's not sugar)
➡️The role chronic stress has in diabetes and insulin resistance
➡️What happens when you go low calorie and/or low carb
➡️What dietary changes can a diabetic or someone who su...
"I’m not good enough"
“I’m not smart enough”
"I can't do this"
"I’ll fail"
“I’m fat"
“I hate my body”
I've definitely had times where I've doubted myself, times when the negative voices have crept in and taken over my thoughts.
These silent conversations are so powerful. They affect our mood, how we feel about ourselves, they can stop us from taking action and they can affect our health.
One of my favourite books on how to harness these inner voices is called Chatter, written by acclaimed psychologist Ethan Cross. I loved it so much I thought I'd get him on the show to talk more about these inner voices and share some of the tools you can use to harness them so you can be happier, healthier and more productive.
More specifically we discussed:
➡️What is “Chatter”?
➡️Managing “Chatter”
➡️Rituals to manage those voices
➡️Success...
I wanted to interview Rebecca because so many women think that when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy they need to drastically cut calories, sugar, dairy and carbs and do a tonne of cardio, especially if they have PCOS or endometriosis. In this episode Rebecca shares:
➡️Her history with endometriosis, PCOS, and extreme dieting
➡️The shame she felt and a lot of women might also feel around binge eating
➡️How empowering strength training is and the role it played in her journey
➡️The improvements she's seen in her menstrual cycle
➡️What her and her husband eat day to day
➡️How Rebecca and her husband prepare each...
So we thought we’d get together and talk more about what it actually means to balance your blood sugar as well as:
➡️What happens to your body when you go many hours or days without eating enough
➡️Myths surrounding carbs, fats, and blood sugar
➡️How blood sugar is regulated
➡️Protein and blood sugar regulation
➡️Eating for and after your workout
➡️Snack ideas that we like for regulating your blood sugar

...A few years ago I messaged Emma saying I was thinking about doing skincare (we’d had so many discussions about how there just weren’t any good brands or lotions without nasties or PUFA's in them). Emma asked me if I wanted a business partner and the rest is history. It's been a long road with the skincare. We've been at it for nearly two years now!! We ended up changing formulators in the end so we could get the product just right.
It was worth the wait because we have the final samples and it should be coming out in the next few months. We’re on the homestretch now, and we are so excited to release these products (finally!!). We have also started formulating makeup. A foundation, lip/cheek tint and bonzer. They will be free from iron oxide, silicones, PUFA, titanium dioxide, aluminium and mineral oil...the first of their kind in the market.
With t...
I started taking Dissolve-it-all after I got my breast implants taken out in December 2020 to help with the scarring. To be honest I was a bit skeptical but the results were amazing, I've had a noticeable reduction in my scars. If you go to his website you can also read one of the 100s of amazing reviews of this product and not just for scar tissue people have reported improvements in fibrotic breast tissue, arthritis, skin tags, achy joints, digestive issues, fibroids and more.
When you’re younger, everything just heals so fast. But you might notice that with age, scars tend to stick around and become more of a permanent thing. Matt is a firm believer that they don’t have to! So I thought I'd get Matt on t...
I remember when I first met Craig, at the same time I met my now business partner Emma Sgourakis. I was like a rat up a drain pipe 🤣 and quickly converted Craig to pro-metabolic eating.
In fact when Craig and I opened our gym in 2015 we worked with both men and women for 3 years. Craig has a handful or male clients he works with now (husbands of the women in the Winatlife program, he would work with more but he just doesn't have the time).
So many women in our programs ask me about what their husband should be doing or what men can do to eat and train pro-metabolically. I also hear from a lot of women how their husbands aren’t as supportive or understanding about this new way of eating. I get that as they probably think oh here we go again another diet 🤣 I wonder how long this will last.
So, we thought it would be a good idea to sit down and chat about it. Travis is a...
